Celebrating Digital Citizenship & Online Safety
This year, we are rolling out the second edition of the eRaksha Competition, which was first launched in 2019. The competition is a collaborative effort of the Cyber Peace Foundation and NCERT.
eRaksha 2020
The idea behind the eRaksha Competition, is to provide a platform to netizens to share tips and strategies on:
- How to be Safe & Responsible Netizens
- How to address Fake News and Misinformation especially with regard to COVID-19
Where on one end technological innovations are adding value to our lives and making it easier, there has also opened up a diverse set of risks which were unfathomable a few years ago. We have been involved in various awareness campaigns over the last couple of years, and we learned that almost every second internet user has had an unpleasant experience online, creating an urgent need to build resilience.
Technology has done us good, and it is here to stay. So what we must focus on, is:
Developing an understanding of using the internet safely, critically and responsibly
Becoming model netizens by following digital ethics & netiquette
Through the competitions, we wish to encourage participation
across multiple levels in the education ecosystem – students from school and colleges, educators from various domains and caregivers to share innovative solutions to problems faced in cyberspace in the form of an artwork, a written piece, a video or even an invention.
